When I talk to Americans and say that the only place I'd like to go back to is Portland they're always like ITS A SHITHOLE, IT IS A WARZONE! ITS HOMELESS PEOPLE AT WAR WITH THE POLICE. It is a very weird alternate reality they live in built by their state propaganda news that doesn't make it to where I live and its so very strange. They can literally just go there and see it isn't true but never leave their shitty small towns.
Same with Seattle and a lot of other "woke" cities. I've had random people tell me how [city] is a lawless, burning wasteland because the commie Democrat fascists defunded the police (they actually increased the pig budget) and their relative who lives near [city] fears for their life every day. Then I tell them I'm regularly in the city and walk around alone at night and they just call me a liar, lmao. Their brains are so fucking cooked.
We need to pull a reverse Mao. Rural people must be brought in to see life in the cities
It's amazing to me how people from small towns are convinced that city life must be absolutely terrible. Having lived in both, I would take the city every time (and these are shitty American cities).

My dad unironically believes this. Thinks the police in our city are defunded and the "commies" in charge won't let them do their jobs. Yet the police budget is higher than ever and I see cop cars LITERALLY EVERYWHERE.

I visited Minnesota a year ago or so and had multiple residents tell me they still wouldn't even drive through Minneapolis after 2020, insinuating that the city had been taken over by racialized gangs. Sometimes they seemed to imply that large swaths of the city had burned down, instead of a police station and a handful of Arbys and Wells Fargos.
Same thing with the la protests, people were talking like the whole county was on fire when it was like two blocks downtown
if you talk to gas station owners 4 hours out of portland they think it is on fire and basically fallujah but with gangs drugs and leftists
if you actually go it's quite nice with lovely food bookstores and parks. And some public transit!
Conservatives watch Fox News and think big cities actually look like the intro scene from Terminator

The culture war actually, I was a vet from the portland front, second shitposting division.

Bro is stuck back in 2020, specifically at PPB hq
please for the love of god can we get some balkanization already
Last time anyone tried 3/4 of a million people died, not ideal
Modern Americans are squeamish lotus eaters, a couple thousand casualties would collapse whatever armed forces emerge
The burger eaters have no fight in them
it's always stuck with me, those stories about american combat veterans going to ukraine and finding out not everyone is lightly-armed scattered militiamen fighting against F-16s and soldiers with plate armor. it gives me hope that after the treat faucet shuts off all the way we have a fighting chance
They always scream about violence and glee at people halfway across the world burning but they softer than wet tissue
inshallah
theyll go in, provoke violence and incite violence, and then brutalize people when they protect themselves and use it as a reason to be more violent and have more of a presence... Stay peaceful, the officials will say. But it wont fucking matter. If youre a part of bad group youll get your head smashed regardless. Wrong place wrong time. And at this point they could open fire on helpless people in their own homes and no one would care. Amerikkka has the fascist state, and the people have the political will and political education of a sloth. As long as they arent personally hurt they will say everythings fine and its such a tragedy and blah blah blah. Empty words devoid of meaning.
Their subreddit is already telling people to not "feed the propaganda" and to stay peaceful
"Decorum! Civility!!!", I scream as I'm being sent to a concentration camp.
Protestors Urged Not To Give Trump Administration Pretext For What It's Already Doing
PORTLAND MAOISTS RISE UP 
This kind of shit is going to make a bunch of maoists out of the libs (not all)
If I were in any kind of position to ever be forced to talk to libs regularly at this point, I probably would be taking these circumstances to say stuff like... if they're ignoring the law & order shit you've been clinging to and treating you like a communist, maybe the very least you could do is actually learn what communism is finally
It is our duty as socialists to rub off on the libs, I encourage you to say the words next time you have a chance.

:trump_im_gonna:
Oh I fully agree and I do, every chance I get. I just don't get as many chances these days.
Very well o7
This is incredible, where are the Portland Maoists?? Smh
He's talking about Portland like it's America's Gaza
: "B-b-b-but - that's illegal!"
Somebody needs to get like a 8mm camera and film a bunch of footage of the troops while playing some indie pop with upbeat music but depressing lyrics like Hazel English or something. Sepia filter some of it. Release it on Facebook. Tell all the meemaws that the troops have converted to Maoist Islamo-Marxist Homo-Militants
Sorry, best I can do is slow-motion footage of ~~fascists~~ The Brave Troops shooting ~~homeless people~~ Antifa Thugs, set to some slop by Bob Dylan or Leonard Cohen.
Rose City Antifa? They were probably one of the few actually organized antifa groups. I know they did a lot of protesting before covid and were at the Floyd protests. Of course Robert Fedvans moved there and broadcasted their presence.
the ameriKKKlan military is no might for our ANTIFA supersoldier~~s~~
